    Our EHIC expires March 2022 a week before we are due to go to Tenerife. On applying for the new card we are advised that they cannot confirm if we qualify, I am 70yrs old my wife 67yrs old, both born and bred in the UK. They require copies of utility bills to confirm our status, we have lived in the same property for 32yrs. Another Brexit benefit?
    That's very odd. Are you sure you were using the official NHS website?

    Both mine & my husband's EHICs expired very recently. I applied for renewals using NINOs (& my NHS number) only on 2nd Feb. New GHIC cards received 10th.
